In 2013 a new method to measure PM2.5 was implemented in Ontario. An approximate correction factor has been applied to data from 2008 to 2012 to be comparable to data from 2013 onwards.
Between 2008 and 2017, the annual average concentration of fine particulate matter in London fluctuated between 7.0 and 9.1 µg/m3.
Since 2013, the annual average concentration of fine particulate matter consistently decreased each year.
